For a team that is on the verge of missing the postseason for the fourth time in five years, the Vancouver Canucks really haven’t made all many drastic changes to their roster.
General manager Jim Benning has pledged plenty of loyalty to veteran players since replacing Mike Gillis five years ago. He allowed the Sedins to retire as Canucks. Veteran blueliners Chris Tanev and Alexander Edler are still on the team, even though they were among his few good trade chips over the years.
Obviously, player personnel moves aren’t up to head coach Travis Green.
